“Ying girl, this matter…” The lady sighed, reached out and patted Qu Moying’s hand, her smile was forced, and one could even see the difficulty in her eyes.
"Grandma, it's over, don't be sad." Qu Moying comforted her softly.
Hearing her granddaughter comforting her like this, the old lady's eyes became red. This child was so sensible, but the more so, the more distressed she felt. This child had lost her mother when she was young, and her father was such an unreliable man that he was worse to this child than a stranger.
Moreover, she has had eye disease since childhood, and of course, this eye disease was definitely caused by Yu.
It's so pitiful no matter how you look at it.
But she has such a magnanimous heart. It's obvious that Qu Qiuyan was the one who instigated this matter, but now she is persuading herself to let it go.
“Girl Ying, grandma… I’m sorry to your mother and to you!” The old lady suppressed the sadness in her heart and said sadly. If she had known what would happen, she would not have married the daughter of the Jiangnan Yue family, and would not have let that gentle woman end up like this, and now she has even implicated her granddaughter.
"Grandma, don't be sad. I won't blame you, and my mother won't blame you either." Qu Moying was pulled to sit next to the old lady. "Grandma, I feel strange. How dare this woman do this? Could it be..."
Qu Moying paused here, struggling over what to say.
"Do you think this old woman is too strong-willed?" The old lady also had her doubts. She temporarily put aside her sympathy for her granddaughter, thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, I think so too. It seems... it seems not just for Third Sister." Qu Moying was confused.
These words reminded the Madam. She put down Qu Moying's hand and thought for a moment, with a fierce look in her eyes. "Could it be that someone wants to plot against our mansion?"
"My granddaughter doesn't know, but I just find it very strange. This Qing Madam has not been in the mansion for long. She has been to the lady's yard before, and then was given to the third sister. Now she is just an ordinary woman. How can she be so capable that she can find anyone she wants? And Madam Ji's intention is also to use some tricks. Where did those dizzy drugs come from?"
Qu Moying frowned in confusion, and it was obvious that she was indeed very confused.
The lady's heart trembled, and she immediately thought of a possibility, and her face changed drastically: "Ying girl, you go back and rest first, I will tell your father about this, but Yan girl may..."
The old lady was a little unable to continue speaking. She always felt that Ying girl was wronged. Even if she could not punish Qu Qiuyan openly for this matter, she would not stand on Qu Qiuyan's side in private.
"Grandma, I know father won't agree." Qu Moying comforted the lady.
These words were too considerate, and the lady felt bitter. Although this child was sensible, she was far inferior to Qu Qiuyan. Not only was her reputation not as good now, but her behavior and manners did not look like a lady from a noble family at all.
This time, even if her son was angry, she would still teach Qu Qiuyan a lesson.
Qu Moying came out of the lady's yard with two maids.
"Miss, there is someone guarding outside the gate of the third lady's courtyard." Yu Chun had sharp eyes and immediately saw a woman guarding the gate of another courtyard.
"It's the lady's people." Yu Dong looked at them and said.
After Qu Moying looked at him silently, he turned around and went back to his own courtyard. It seemed that Qu Moying was
Keeping it under surveillance saved me a lot of trouble.
As soon as I returned to the yard and sat down, I saw Yudong bringing in a maid and a servant. They were from the Ling Anbo Mansion.
"Miss Qu Si, our lady dowager thanks you. This is our lady dowager's thank you gift." The old woman said with a smile, and the maid behind her came forward with a gift box in her hand.
"Thank you, madam, but it's really not necessary." Qu Moying refused with a smile.
"This time, it's all thanks to Miss Qu Si who discovered it early, otherwise our Madam would have been in trouble. She has been in a bad mental state since the death of our uncle, and she is even more hurt this time." said the old woman.
"Did your lady see anything before?" Qu Moying thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
The old woman shuddered. She was also the confidant of the old lady. She had heard some strange things from another old woman who followed her. When she heard Qu Moying ask this, she immediately became nervous. "Did Miss Qu Si see anything wrong when she went in?"
"I didn't, but at that moment... I felt something strange." Qu Moying frowned slightly, looking very confused.
"What's so strange?" the old woman asked hastily, her heart pounding.
"I can't really explain what was strange. I was originally going to go look for my mother's eternal lamp, but suddenly someone seemed to urge me to go and ask quickly, so I left to find the master in the temple... It was actually a very subtle feeling, and I don't know if it was really like that at the time."
Qu Moying shook his head, as if trying to shake off this strange feeling, "Later, when I came back, I... I seemed to see a figure... wearing light yellow clothes, but when I looked closely, it was gone."
"You... you saw a figure in light yellow clothes?" the old woman asked stutteringly, her expression becoming more and more nervous, "Do you think someone asked you to leave first?"
At that time, those scoundrels wanted to plot against Fourth Miss Qu. If Fourth Miss Qu did not leave, it was very likely that something would happen to her. Was it the Crown Princess in heaven who notified Fourth Miss Qu to leave
"I don't know whether I really saw it or felt it. Anyway, it felt very strange there. Madam, you can ask the master in the temple. He went there with me. I wonder if he saw anything." Qu Moying said again, his voice was not loud and seemed a little dizzy, as if he himself was not sure.
But the old woman believed it without a doubt. The man also said it seemed like it, but also seemed not to be. Even the lady-in-waiting thought the same. Not everyone could wear the light yellow clothes. Only the prince and the princess could wear them. Moreover, she wore them on her wedding day when she entered the East Palace.
Sure enough, it was the Crown Princess who appeared.
The old woman's upper and lower jaws were fighting, "Qu... Fourth Miss, maybe Fourth Miss Qu saw... saw it wrongly. Our Madam said that if Fourth Miss has nothing to do in the future, she can come to the mansion as a guest."
After putting the gift down, the old woman didn't dare to stay any longer. She turned around and left, hurried back to report to Madam Ji.
Seeing the old woman leaving in a hurry, Qu Moying smiled slightly, with a cold look in his eyes. He drove the tiger to devour the wolf, but now was just the right time...
Mrs. Ji had already stood up, but she was wrapped in a quilt and felt cold all over. She shivered from time to time and looked around. She always felt that someone was watching her. She sent Concubine Xiang out and left only a trusted maid to talk to her.
The words were about the old woman who had fainted with fright before.
After hearing that the confidant who delivered the gift had returned, the lady asked the old woman to go into the inner room as well. The affairs of the Qu Mansion had originally nothing to do with her, but it happened to give her a reasonable excuse. Naturally, she had to express her gratitude to Qu Moying who "rescued" her in time, although she didn't like this Fourth Miss Qu either.
If there were no scoundrels, Madam Ji would not be able to explain why such a strange thing happened, let alone say that she fainted because she was scared when she saw her granddaughter. Such things could not be revealed at all. It just so happened that there was such a group of scoundrels causing trouble, and it was related to the Qu Mansion. It would be strange if Madam Ji did not blame them.
Madam Ji suppressed all the past events tightly.
Therefore, they tried their best to suppress the matter of those scoundrels, and insisted that this strange thing happened because these scoundrels conspired with others and accidentally injured people from the Ji Mansion.
“Madam, this old servant has a gift for Miss Qu Si… Miss Qu Si said that she originally wanted to find Madam Qu Er’s eternal lamp by herself, but… but it seemed that someone was urging her to leave, as if… as if she knew someone was going to harm her…” When the old woman said this, her teeth started to chatter and she looked nervous.
Mrs. Ji shuddered. She had been a little hesitant at first, but now she no longer had any doubts. It turned out that her second granddaughter had appeared in spirit.
Otherwise, something would have happened to this Fourth Miss Qu. The second granddaughter had always taken care of this Fourth Miss Qu, and she certainly would not let this cousin get into trouble. That's why Fourth Miss Qu left in a hurry and the few scoundrels failed to harm her.
Thinking of this, Madam Ji shuddered twice again. She clasped her hands together, muttered to herself in the air, and prayed to her granddaughter and son, saying that the first branch of the family would definitely prosper and would never die out. Everything would belong to the first branch of the family. Even if her son had no offspring, she would now adopt her second son's son.
She hopes her son and granddaughter won’t turn into evil spirits and come looking for her.
The eldest son has been brave since childhood, and the granddaughter is also different from ordinary people. If these two become evil spirits, they will definitely be the most powerful ones, and the entire Ling Anbo Mansion will be finished.
Thinking of the anxious situation, Madam Ji dared not hesitate any more. She repeatedly promised that after returning, she would promote Concubine Xiang to be a co-wife, let Ji Yuanhai become Ling Anbo as soon as possible, and she would definitely support Ji Yuanhai well.
Mrs. Ji didn't dare to mention the matter of her granddaughter. She didn't dare to mention it for fear that there would be something wrong.
In fact, many of the things about her eldest son and second granddaughter were told to her by her second son and second daughter-in-law, and some were told by her eldest granddaughter Ji Youran. Although what they said was perfect, Mrs. Ji always felt that there was something strange about it, but she didn't dare to ask too much or interfere.
The second son said that these were all the prince's intentions, and asking more questions might bring disaster.
I just found out that when her son and granddaughter got into trouble, Madam Ji was also sad, but then she thought about what she could do. She still had her second son and his family, so she was not so sad. The Ling'an Marquis's Mansion had not yet fallen, and she still had her second son and granddaughter Ji Youran. Maybe she would have a chance to become the Crown Princess in the future. The Crown Prince had a deep affection for his second granddaughter Ji Hanyue, and he would definitely look up to the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion.
Ji Youran's future also has unlimited possibilities.
Thinking of this, Madam Ji was not so sad anymore. As for what happened inside, the world would belong to the prince in the future. What could she do
